by R. C. Sproul Jr. from Highland Ministries - They Labor In Vain, Or a Funny Thing Happened While I Preached My Daughter's Wedding Just a few days ago I was privileged to be able to preach at a rather significant occasion, the wedding ceremony of my first-born. Darby was, like her mother, not just a beautiful and radiant bride, but a diligent, faithful laborer in bringing the event together.

Caution: Godwinning below. Found on Facebook on a random person's timeline. Posting this as a cautionary example of what can happen when you have very little education and pick up a Bible. Reads like the writer just read a book on Hitler. Is Hitler the Anti-christ? You decide!(Martin Luther a leading/pioneer protestant revolutionary is also from Germany=very good!ATTN: Though this is end time prophetic foreshadowing on my part it does not replace Biblical end time prophesy based on an understanding of Biblical scriptures which understanding is a gift of the Holy Spirit! … [Read more...]

Most confused here.What Camille actually said: … [Read more...]

Vyckie Garrison started No Longer Quivering to tell the story of her “escape” from the Quiverfull movement.

NLQ is a gathering place for women escaping and recovering from spiritual abuse.
